no help here, either. I don't think my parents taught me anything specific to treating "women"; people, in general, perhaps. you said the word, over and over: respect. respect for others. Church was big on that, too. some would call it "humanist". But that didn't do much for me in terms of relating to the opposite sex...not that it did any harm, either; probably entirely unrelated. But I was socially inept as a teen. You've heard the term "chick magnet"? well, I was what you'd call a "chick repellant". In fact, W's first words to me included the phrase "get away from me". (I kid you not). funny how some of our sitch's could have been so easily foreseen...
